We are looking for a person to help us take care of our Alaskan Huskies from June/ July until September/ October 2023.

· Should be able to see jobs that needs to be done – without having to constantly be told/directed
· Keep calm in stressful situations

Some of the tasks; just to mention few of them is:
Feed the dogs 2-3 times a day
· Keep the dog yard clean
· Socialize with the dogs
· Help us prepare for the training and also train dogs if we see that you are motivated enough
· Improve the trails
· Cut meat and prepare the dog food
· Fix or build

For us this is more than work and our dogs are more than dogs; they are our friends and their wellbeing is important to us. There will also be time for you to go hiking and to explore Alta and the area around Alta.
